Home Alone
This film always brings a Xmas atmosphere whenever I have watched it. You'll certainly laugh at the great slapstick humour when two bungling thieves fall into numerous traps laid by 8 year old Kevin who is resolved to protect the family home.
The family at the centre of the film (McCallisters) are wealthy and somewhat disfunctional but this adds to the warmth of the movie. There are touching moments when Kevin meets a neighbour, an old man who lives alone and has fallen out with his son, and after an exchange of words alter each others perspective on their problems. All ends up well with the bad guys apprehended by the long arm of the law. Great for the family and is a definate on the Xmas rental list. |
